OpenSea ‘unaware’ of any involvement of former exec in $60M rug pull
Nonfungible token (NFT) platform OpenSea says it is unaware of any evidence pointing to a former employee being involved in the infamous AnubisDAO rug pull in 2021 following new accusations on social media.
In an Oct. 6 thread on X, the anonymous account NFT Ethics tagged OpenSea asking them to respond to its accusations that their former head of ventures Kevin Pawlak is linked to the pseudonymous identity “0xSisyphus" and was involved in "various dubious business dealings."
Both NFT Ethics and blockchain analytics account Lookonchain alleged that 0xSisyphus, and thus Pawlak, played a key role in hyping the AnubisDAO project to investors, shortly before the project transferred the freshly-raised funds to a series of external wallets.
The thread by NFT Ethics attempted to explain that Pawlak’s alleged role in the AnubisDAO rug pull was premeditated with other developers and laundered the proceeds through the memecoin Pepe (PEPE).
However, an OpenSea spokesperson told Cointelegraph that they were unaware of Pawlak’s involvement in any such activities, but also noted that Palwak had a “limited scope” while working at the company.
